Something about being back home for the holidays always causes me to regress. After setting aside 48 hours to hibernate and stuffing myself with as much homemade food as possible, I plan to spend the rest of break watching my old movies and reading my old books in my bedroom, which is still has painted-purple walls and my life-sized cardboard cutout of John Mayer.

the anime had its flaws and dumbed down the characters which is upsetting. like the girls fighting over guys getting in the way of their friendship? NEVER HAPPENED, but the anime was all about that petty shit.

anywho, the manga at the core had SO MANY GOOD THINGS behind it. women being friends, growing together, loving each other as sisters and dying for each other. fuck being saved in general, THEY were the ones who kicked ass---and the damsel is distress love story between sailor moon and tuxedo mask always felt legit, whether he was saving her or vice versa. lot's of LGBTQ love with characters, both heroes and villians, etc.

even better, the girls who played the main 5 senshi in the live action version in 2003 are still friends today. *wipes tears*

this beautiful fuckin' series is the greatest shoujo anything to ever come out of japan.

That's the only thing I hate about the DVD set. The music had such an impact on the show while it was airing. One of the scenes I can recall is when Daria is watching Trent go out on a date and Foo Fighter's "Everlong" is playing.
